It’s the time of year when people begin making new financial plans, setting goals, and making resolutions. Additionally, it’s best to talk these pretty huge concepts over with your partner. There’s no better expert on the subject than MSN Finance guru, Liz Weston. In a recent article Liz urges couples to pick an opportune time, list the topics you need to cover, and dig in.
Not sure which topics to start with? Well, Liz helps you out there too. How was money handled in your family growing up? Share credit reports, make a debt pay-off plan, and talk about future savings needs. Liz says, “you may not come to an agreement — or at least an agreement that works with your current financial situation — the first time you discuss any of these matters. But understanding each other is the key to working out an eventual solution.” I couldn’t have said it better myself, Liz. As you get your financial ducks in a row this month, make certain to tuck your savings goals safely into SmartyPig. We’ll help you reach them faster and reward you, too!
Wishing you successful saving.
